How does the Duke describe his last duchess ​

English

Answer:

answer is here

Explanation:

The Duke describes the last Duchess as if she were wanton with her attention, inadequately class conscious and overly friendly. As rowens says, his primary complaint is that she does not treat him with more reverance or favour than she does anyone else. She loves everyone and everything: "she had a heart too soon made glad, too easily impressed". She enjoys life and people, and does not differentiate between nature and art, high or low class, men in general and her husband with the 900 year old name.

She is not a coarse woman--she blushes easily (too easily, according to the Duke, and too frequently as well). She smiles at everyone (friendly, but undifferentiatingly so), and she thanks everyone (this makes her too free with her gratitude). As far as the Duke is concerned, she should only be thankful to him for giving her his name (and title).

According to the Duke, she is oblivious to her faults, and does not correct herself (he doesn't tell her he sees anything wrong with her behaviour because that would be "stooping" and the Duke never stoops.

So her three greatest faults are that she is uncommonly friendly (which makes her common in the Duke's eyes), she is insufficiently grateful and subservient to the Duke, her husband and, finally, that having made these grave errors she does not see them and correct them on her own (thus putting the Duke in the uncomfortable position of feeling he must tutor his wife, which of course he cannot do).

Hope its helpful;

D. By using imaginative and descriptive language.

You must note that the reader most likely will not know how the area looks like, specifically if it is a fictional book, leaving it up to the writer to describe how the landscape looks like, as well as hinting how it will affect the story's plot.

In Rain Myths, which conclusion about the Madagascan people is most justified by "A Madagascan Myth”?
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

The Madagascans had cultural values based on family.

Explanation:

The answer “The Madagascans had religious beliefs based on the land” is not correct, because while land does play the role in "A Madagascan Myth”, the myth does not tell the story of the land.

<u> The answer “The Madagascans had cultural values based on family.” is correct. </u><u>In the myth, God Ndriananahary creates the Sun to find and </u><u>help his son</u><u> on the earth. Therefore, we can see how much he </u><u>cared for the family</u><u>. Additionally, the myth mentions the </u><u>importance of ancestors and their spirits on earth. For people, dead spirits of the family are important to guide and protect them, Therefore, the family values are important in order to have a good life and happiness, and the love and care for the family can bring great things. </u>

The answer “The Madagascans had religious beliefs based on the sun” is not true. The myth does talk about the creation of the sun, but it does not say the belief system is based upon it.

The answer “The Madagascans had cultural values based on safety.” is not correct. While safety is important in the myth (safety of Ndriananahary’s sons and safety of people protected by ancestors), it is the part of the belief and the need of the people, while cultural and religious values lie in the family values. Therefore, it can be concluded that family is important to have safety, which puts the core of the cultural value in the concept of family.
